I understand it is frustrating not having an easy to use interface to
get proper touchpad performance.  I've reverted to Hardy from Intrepid
due to other issues, but I didn't have touchpad issues with my
xorg.conf.

Try something like this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "HorizEdgeScroll"       "0"
        Option "LeftEdge" "130"
        Option "RightEdge" "840"
        Option "TopEdge" "130"
        Option "BottomEdge" "640"
        Option "FingerLow" "7"
        Option "FingerHigh" "8"
        Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
        Option "MinTapTime" "110"
        Option "ClickTime" "0"
        Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75"
        Option "VertScrollDelta" "20"
        Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20"
        Option "MinSpeed" "0.50"
        Option "MaxSpeed" "0.85"
        Option "AccelFactor" "0.050"
        Option "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "200"
        Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "200"
        Option "UpDownScrolling" "1"
        Option "CircularScrolling" "off"
        Option "CircScrollDelta" "0.1"
        Option "CircScrollTrigger" "3"
        Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
EndSection

If you're really bored, look at the man page for "synaptics" to see what
all the settings do.  Though my setup is for the synaptic driver, I'm
using an ALPS touchpad on a Dell Latitude, the synaptics driver supports
both.
